“What we have overcome in the past gives us the confidence and courage to believe that we can achieve even more as we cast our eyes on the future.

“As Nigerians, let us recommit our energies to building a better Nigeria and rededicating ourselves to the vision of our nationalists who saw greatness in this country and worked assiduously to advance it.

“I ask you all to remain committed to our highest national purpose so that we may continue to strengthen our national institutions and our very country,” he said.
